Much attention was given to the compute and storage components in containing the exponential growth of data and applications. But, there is an enormous strain on the network infrastructure as applications are more bandwidth hungry. Not all business applications are of equal importance, organizations need to optimize their network to handle sudden spikes of workload and intelligently balance bandwidth contention.

• Apply quality of service on your network to ensure different business functions receive its deserved SLA.

• Leverage on WAN optimization technologies to reduce bandwidth costs.

• Ensure your infrastructure is ready for IPv6.

• Improve application performance by guaranteeing bandwidth for business critical applications and bandwidth sensitive operations.

• Improve your network’s resiliency against downed links and equipment.
